Colebrookdale Train Stop in Boyertown, PA.

Good afternoon, can you give a location where this store is located.

I am working in Boyertown and staying in Pottstown.

I noticed going thru town on route PA State Route 73 South you pass a hobby store on the right hand side before you cross the railroad tracks but I haven't had the time time to stop in and look around.

I have a larger truck so parking is always a challenge.

On another note the scenic train ( sorry forget the name) that is located in Boyertown looks nice. A few nice and usual buildings around the train station.

Hey Mark,

the train shop is right near the Colebrookdale scenic railroad. It is a little “out of sight”. We had to walk around for a few minutes to find the entrance. There is a long parking area behind the shop that would accommodate a larger truck. But note that the streets are a bit narrow in this area. Also, the Boyertown post office and municipal building is right across the street from the front of this shop. From the front, the shop sits back off of the street with a grassy area in front. Looks like you are walking through someone’s yard to walk in the front entrance. Hope this helps.

Thanks Theo, I will check this shop out in the upcoming week.

I have a idea about where this is at in town since I was sitting in traffic one day and I was looking around at the buildings and the surroundings.

Thanks again !!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family !!

Thank you very much, Mark! Happy Thanksgiving to you- hope you have a great holiday season!

I service/repair mostly old school Lionel, Flyer, Marx for the shop, same as I did for Ye Olde Train Shoppe.  The guys also have two MTH techs and an HO/N guru.  Stop in and say hi, even if it's just to check it out and browse around.

I was there about a month ago, I bought a MTH PRR Express car. Its a nice new store and right next to the Colebrookedale Railroad..I hope they do some kind of tie in with them..

How about a name and address of the shop? Only about 2 hours from me a nice Saturday afternoon trip. Phone number also if you have one?

Rick, I'm sure you visit Neely's in Altoona.  Going to be in Altoona to spend Thanksgiving with Mom and the family.  I will also be visiting Neely's.  Also at a new location.  1538 East Pleasant Valley Blvd, Altoona, PA 16602.

John: I have never heard of Neely's in Altoona!

Neely's is cool. A fair mix of engines and rolling stock along with some postwar. Does a really good job with repairs.  About a half hour / forty five minutes from State College.  A good day trip would be going to Lens Train Shop out side of Irwin, Pa. You could also stop at Brady's in Greensburg on the same road trip.

Good afternoon, I was back in the Boyertown PA area last week and got a chance to stop by the Colebrookdale Train Shop.

Nice little shop with friendly helpful staff.

Worth a stop if you are in the area !!!!

Happy Holidays !!!!!!

My daughter and I went and it was a little hard to find.  We drove past it twice before looking closer until we finally found it.  The entrance is to the rear of the building.

Anyway, they had some interesting items.  I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I left with 2 Lionel starter sets to put around the tree.

It was really refreshing to be able to go to a brick-and-mortar train shop.  I havn't been to one in quite some time.

Hello Frank, yes this true !!!!

The owner said they where working on some better signage.

I came in the front door but I think I walked thru a residents front yard to get to the shop.

I had to park my truck over in the railroads parking lot and walk about 1/2 a block.

Anyone know the status of this dealer?

I've now sent 2 e-mail about a pre-order and they have never answered.

Their website is no longer online.

Good afternoon, I am working down in this area and when I was coming up thru Boyertown early this morning I noticed the new shop.

The other shop Ottos Trains is still there.

I was stopped in traffic this afternoon and got a good look at the new shop.

The sign on the shop reads Tim’s Trains.

No activity around the store and the lights appeared to be off inside.

I will get another look in the morning when there is less traffic.

I have a medium size truck so you have to be paying attention, narrow street down thru there !!!!!

It appears that Tim’s Train Shop is only open on Saturday and Sunday.

Wow, reading this post was like seeing something come and go before your very eyes . Hope they have reopened, even if only part time.

The Modelbahn Ott train store also on Main Street in Boyertown, is open. It is not part of Tim's.

Yes it has happened.  There were issues with the old location and not much foot traffic. Tim opened up on main st where the foot traffic is and next to the Colebrookdale RR excursion. Hopefully he will do better at this new location.
